Just when many folks on Main Street were being introduced to 3D printing last year, a new technology that makes it seem downright medieval made a splash on the techie scene: 4D printing. Even ...

4D printing is opening up possibilities never before seen from printing in outer space or even remote areas of our planet with its reactive abilities.

4D printing is real, happening now, and has the potential to shape the world. Self-assembly in 4D printing uses materials responding to external stimuli. A regular 3D printer can be used to create ...

Citi just came out with a list of disruptive innovations that are going to change the world. The top thing on their list is '4-D printing.' Obviously '3-D printing' gets tons of hype, but we had ...

With 4D printing there’s a lot to play with. Now, that 3D printing captured our imagination, just think what adding time to the equation could do ...

Skylar Tibbits of MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab shares his insights on the biotechnology and medical applications of 4D printing, a way of producing highly active structures that morph over time.

4-D printing refers to the process of creating self-assembling structures that dynamically transform over time, reacting to environmental triggers such as heat, light and humidity.

It might seem like there’s a typo in the title, but 4D printing stocks are a real industry emerging right now. But what is 4D printing, other than just 3D printing in an extra dimension? Well ...

Even though it was introduced in 2013, 4D printing seems to still be flying under the radar among 3D printing followers. Here's what you should know about this still-in-the-lab technology that ...
